First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, Amb Mrs Amaka Nweke Mark Birthdays on UN International Day of Peace

Nigeria beams with celebration today, Sunday, September 21, 2025, as two outstanding women of distinction, Her Excellency Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and Ambassador Mrs. Amaka Nweke JP, Member IV of the Enugu State Local Government Service Commission, mark their birthdays with gratitude, reflection, and the admiration of a nation.

For Senator Oluremi Tinubu, this day marks her 65th birthday, a milestone that resonates with decades of public service, advocacy, and a life dedicated to uplifting communities. As Nigeria’s First Lady and National Chairman of the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), she has consistently demonstrated grace, resilience, and visionary leadership, championing programs that promote education, empower women and youth, alleviate poverty, and advance the well-being of families across the country. Her work through the Renewed Hope Initiative has brought tangible improvements to countless lives, inspiring a renewed sense of optimism and social progress. Nigerians from all walks of life join her family, friends, and well-wishers around the world in celebrating a woman whose legacy of compassion and transformative service continues to shape the nation’s future.

Sharing this remarkable date is Ambassador Mrs. Amaka Nweke JP, a respected water resources expert, WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) advocate, and social justice crusader, whose birthday celebration also reflects her life of humanitarian impact. Known for her pioneering efforts in water rights advocacy, gender equality, youth empowerment, and community development, Ambassador Nweke has gained both national and international recognition for her leadership. As the Secretary of the Board of Trustees and Executive Coordinator of the Network of Water Rights Initiative, she has spearheaded initiatives such as the “Claim Your Water Rights” campaign, championed the passage of a landmark water law in Enugu State, and led hands-on projects that provide clean water, promote sanitation, and improve livelihoods for marginalized communities.

Her birthday celebrations this year carry an added dimension of purpose, coinciding with the International Day of Peace. In keeping with this global theme, Ambassador Nweke has organized a series of outreach programs including school-based hygiene education, charity visits to Persons With Disabilities (PWDs), and peace dialogues, reinforcing her message that true peace begins with compassion, dialogue, and shared responsibility.

Though their paths and platforms differ, Senator Tinubu and Ambassador Nweke share a common commitment to service, empowerment, and nation-building. Both women embody the ideals of selfless leadership, investing their lives in creating opportunities, inspiring hope, and nurturing a culture of peace and progress.

As Nigerians join in celebrating these two remarkable leaders, today stands as a reminder of the transformative power of dedicated women who continue to shape society through vision, action, and unwavering faith in humanity.
